Description

半導體裝置定位系統及用於定位半導體裝置的方法 Semiconductor device positioning system and method for positioning semiconductor device

現今譬如積體電路(IC)或離散電晶體等組件係藉在一基板上製造數個組件來大規模生產。例如,各式IC製程實行在一矽晶圓上以製造電子電路。典型地,在單一晶圓上製造數百或數千個組件或IC晶粒。 Today, components such as integrated circuits (ICs) or discrete transistors are produced on a large scale by manufacturing several components on a substrate. For example, various IC processes are performed on a silicon wafer to manufacture electronic circuits. Typically, hundreds or thousands of components or IC dies are manufactured on a single wafer.

在該等IC製程期間,一半導體裝置定位系統係用於定位或置放一半導體裝置,使得可在該半導體裝置上實施不同的操作。例如,一半導體裝置定位系統可包含一半導體固持平台以將一半導體裝置固持於一特定位置、及/或包含一半導體裝置驅動器平台以移動一半導體裝置,來進行半導體裝置加工操作(譬如,一沈積製程或一蝕刻製程)。然而,增加一半導體裝置驅動器平台之加速度通常導致較高之加速力、及因此較高之對該半導體裝置驅動器平台之支撐結構的反作用力。該較高之支撐結構上反作用力可導致在該支撐結構上、該半導體裝置驅動器平台上、及安裝於該支撐結構之其他模組上的動態擾動。 During these IC manufacturing processes, a semiconductor device positioning system is used to position or place a semiconductor device so that different operations can be performed on the semiconductor device. For example, a semiconductor device positioning system may include a semiconductor holding platform to hold a semiconductor device at a specific location, and / or include a semiconductor device driver platform to move a semiconductor device for semiconductor device processing operations (e.g., a deposition Process or an etching process). However, increasing the acceleration of a semiconductor device driver platform usually results in a higher acceleration force and therefore a higher reaction force to the supporting structure of the semiconductor device driver platform. The higher reaction force on the support structure may cause dynamic disturbances on the support structure, on the semiconductor device driver platform, and on other modules mounted on the support structure.

In the specific embodiment depicted in FIG. 2, a positioning platform 202 includes a long-stroke platform 222 and a short-stroke platform 224. The positioning system is configured to position a semiconductor device 204 by positioning the semiconductor device relative to a support structure 226. The support structure may be any suitable support device / system. In a specific embodiment, the supporting structure is a bracket. In some embodiments, the positioning platform is used in a die bonding device, where high retrieval speed will be combined with high accuracy. The positioning system 202 depicted in FIG. 2 is a possible specific embodiment of the positioning platform 102 depicted in FIG. 1. However, the positioning platform 102 depicted in FIG. 1 is not limited to the specific embodiment shown in FIG. 2.

在第2圖描繪之具體實施例中,長行程平台222被構造為,可相對於支撐結構226移動。短行程平台224連附至該長行程平台(譬如,經由至少一連附裝置228)(例如,一平板彈簧或任何其他適當裝置),且被構造 為載運半導體裝置204。在某些具體實施例中,該長行程平台被構造為可相對於該支撐結構線性移動,及該短行程平台被構造為載運一半導體裝置且可線性移動及/或轉動。在某些具體實施例中,該長行程平台具有一相對於該支撐結構之第一活動範圍。該短行程平台具有一相對於該長行程平台之第二活動範圍,該第二活動範圍較該第一活動範圍小。在某些具體實施例中,該長行程平台被構造為可線性移動,且同時該短行程平台被構造為可線性移動及轉動。該長行程平台係作為該短行程平台與該支撐結構之間的一平衡質量。結果,該長行程平台可作為該短行程平台的加速力之一平衡質量且降低該支撐結構上之反作用力,如此將達成允許高速度下之高定位準確度。 In the specific embodiment depicted in FIG. 2, the long-stroke platform 222 is configured to be movable relative to the support structure 226. A short-stroke platform 224 is attached to the long-stroke platform (e.g., via at least one attachment device 228) (e.g., a flat spring or any other suitable device) and is constructed To carry a semiconductor device 204. In some embodiments, the long-stroke platform is configured to be linearly movable relative to the support structure, and the short-stroke platform is configured to carry a semiconductor device and linearly move and / or rotate. In some embodiments, the long-stroke platform has a first range of motion relative to the support structure. The short-stroke platform has a second range of motion relative to the long-stroke platform. The second range of motion is smaller than the first range of motion. In some embodiments, the long-stroke platform is configured to be linearly movable, and at the same time, the short-stroke platform is configured to be linearly movable and rotatable. The long-stroke platform serves as a balanced mass between the short-stroke platform and the support structure. As a result, the long-stroke platform can be used as one of the acceleration forces of the short-stroke platform to balance the mass and reduce the reaction force on the support structure, thus achieving a high positioning accuracy that allows high speeds.

使用長行程平台222及短行程平台224,使定位平台202可降低支撐結構226上之加速力。由於該長行程平台不具有高定位準確度需求,因此該長行程之加速力可較低,且因此較低之力將傳遞至該支撐結構。結果,該短行程平台產生之高加速力將由該長行程平台之慣性吸收,且不致傳遞至該支撐結構。該長行程平台整合平衡質量與量測系統之二功能,且由於該長行程平台之定位準確度需求較該短行程平台之定位準確度需求低,因此可由低性能致動器驅動。相較於結合一短行程平台及一長行程平台使用一分離式移動平衡質量的一半導體裝置定位平台,第2圖中描繪之定位平台202係使用該長行程平台作為該短行程平台與該半導體裝置之間的一平 衡質量。結果,第2圖中描繪之定位系統202係無需一分離式移動平衡質量而可實現。 The use of the long-stroke platform 222 and the short-stroke platform 224 enables the positioning platform 202 to reduce the acceleration force on the support structure 226. Since the long-stroke platform does not have high positioning accuracy requirements, the acceleration force of the long-stroke can be lower, and thus the lower force will be transmitted to the support structure. As a result, the high acceleration force generated by the short-stroke platform will be absorbed by the inertia of the long-stroke platform and will not be transmitted to the support structure. The long-stroke platform integrates two functions of a balanced mass and measurement system, and because the positioning accuracy requirement of the long-stroke platform is lower than that of the short-stroke platform, it can be driven by a low-performance actuator. Compared to a semiconductor device positioning platform that uses a separate mobile balancing mass in combination with a short-stroke platform and a long-stroke platform, the positioning platform 202 depicted in FIG. 2 uses the long-stroke platform as the short-stroke platform and the semiconductor. One level between devices Weighing quality. As a result, the positioning system 202 depicted in FIG. 2 can be realized without a separate moving balance mass.

第2圖描繪之定位平台202中,短行程平台224相對於支撐結構226之位置係該短行程平台相對於長行程平台222之位置、與該長行程平台相對於該支撐結構之位置的總和。例如,該短行程平台相對於該支撐結構之y軸位置可表示為:ySS2BF=ySS2LS+yLS2BF (1) In the positioning platform 202 depicted in FIG. 2, the position of the short-stroke platform 224 relative to the support structure 226 is the sum of the position of the short-stroke platform relative to the long-stroke platform 222 and the position of the long-stroke platform relative to the support structure. For example, the y-axis position of the short-stroke platform relative to the support structure can be expressed as: ySS2BF = ySS2LS + yLS2BF (1)

其中ySS2BF代表該短行程平台相對於該支撐結構之y軸位置,ySS2LS代表該短行程平台相對於該長行程平台之y軸位置,及yLS2BF代表該長行程平台相對於該支撐結構之y軸位置。該長行程平台、該短行程平台、與該支撐結構之間的相對位置可藉感測器系統108之複數個感測器量測。除此以外,該短行程平台之力僅作用於該長行程上。以FSS代表之該短行程平台的力係由該長行程平台補償,且僅FLS代表之該長行程平台的力影響該支撐結構。 Where ySS2BF represents the y-axis position of the short-stroke platform relative to the support structure, ySS2LS represents the y-axis position of the short-stroke platform relative to the long-stroke platform, and yLS2BF represents the y-axis position of the long-stroke platform relative to the support structure . The relative positions of the long-stroke platform, the short-stroke platform, and the support structure can be measured by a plurality of sensors of the sensor system 108. In addition, the force of the short-stroke platform only acts on the long-stroke. The force of the short-stroke platform represented by F SS is compensated by the long-stroke platform, and only the force of the long-stroke platform represented by F LS affects the support structure.

可依各式技術控制長行程平台222。在某些具體實施例中,該長行程平台之一設定點輪廓係計算作為短行程平台224高速度檢索輪廓之總和。可使用該計算設定點輪廓,依一低活動範圍來控制該長行程平台,導致低控制器力、及因此對支撐結構226的低反作用力。對該支撐結構之低反作用力可有效地使該長行程平台成為與該短行程平台一同移動之一被動平衡質量。另一選擇,可使用該計算設定點輪廓,依一高活動範圍來控制該長 行程平台,消除一大部份之該短行程平台的高反作用力且造成該長行程平台作為該短行程平台之一主動平衡質量。在某些具體實施例中,並未直接控制該長行程平台相對於該支撐結構之位置。反而,依一低控制器頻寬來控制該長行程平台與該短行程平台之間的位置差(譬如,設定為一定值),確保在朝該支撐結構方向上之低反作用力。對該支撐結構之低反作用力可有效地造成該長行程平台作為該短行程平台之一被動平衡質量。 The long-stroke platform 222 can be controlled according to various technologies. In some embodiments, the setpoint profile of one of the long-stroke platforms is calculated as the sum of the high-speed retrieval profiles of the short-stroke platform 224. The calculated setpoint profile can be used to control the long-stroke platform with a low range of motion, resulting in a low controller force and therefore a low reaction force on the support structure 226. The low reaction force to the support structure can effectively make the long-stroke platform a passive balancing mass that moves with the short-stroke platform. Alternatively, the calculated setpoint profile can be used to control the length with a high range of motion The travel platform eliminates a large part of the high reaction force of the short travel platform and causes the long travel platform to actively balance the mass as one of the short travel platforms. In some embodiments, the position of the long-stroke platform relative to the support structure is not directly controlled. Instead, a low controller bandwidth is used to control the position difference between the long-stroke platform and the short-stroke platform (for example, set to a certain value) to ensure a low reaction force in the direction of the support structure. The low reaction force to the support structure can effectively cause the long-stroke platform to be a passively balanced mass as one of the short-stroke platforms.
